Abrade Naupe 45 km S, 15 km E of Chulucanas,
Dept. Piura, Peru
August 12 no time to hunt. This area was grass-covered
with some old mouse signs but little fresh sign.
Some cactus and Tillandsia were present. The
area was rocky but I managed to find a comfort-
able place to sleep.
August 13 After getting up I brought in traps. I caught
1 Phyllotis sp. as did Carl. About 09:00 I
looked for lizards. I did not find many lizards
but I did see a coral snake disappearing under a
rock. Several Andean Condors (Vultur gryphus)
were seen flying around the tops of the hills.
Several large flocks of finches flew over. We
left about noon.
En route to Morrope, Dept. Lambayeque, Peru
Several km south of Motupe we stopped at Cerro
de la Vieja by a hill covered with granite
boulders and looked under exfoliating granite
for geckos. We caught 3 or 4 geckos and 2
Tropidurus[illegible]. We drove and turned west a little
north of Lambayeque and camped near site used
on July 15.
3 km SE of Morape, elevation 100 ft., Dept.
Lambayeque, Peru
Fred, Ray, and I set out traps during the night.
Fred caught 2 Phyllotis gerbilus.
